IN VEN TOR.

ATTORNEY by means of a ring 29 secured over the said orifice, which ring is adapted to hold a packing member 30 which impinges against the hub 27l On the end of the hub which projects into the chamber 3 is secured a sprocket wheel -31, of the same size as the Wheel 20, the sprocket wheels on each pair of correspondin wheel's S) and 26 being C011- nccted by a drive chain 32, whereby each pair of wheels on a side are maintained in constant driving relation with each other.

The frames 12 as will be readily discernible serve the double function of forming a strong reinforced supporting structure for the tractor, which is very essential in this type of machine, and further serve as housings for the driving chains.
